Return these mom jeans or get them tailored?
I just got these women's jeans in the mail. They fit well except there's a little bit too much fabric around the crotch. [more inside]
Is it weird to get underwear altered/taken in?
If so, is there a way to cut down on any weirdness? Snowflakes inside. [more inside]
Can these jeans be re-altered and still look normal?
A friend of mine gave me a couple of pairs of new "Gap 1969 Long & Lean" boot-cut jeans that she got altered before she decided they didn't really fit. She's an inch or two or more than two shorter than I am. I'm wondering if I could get them re-altered into a straight-leg (or maybe slightly tapered?) cut that I can roll up a little, but I don't know anything about sewing. [more inside]
Raise the...waist.
I have this dress. The waist of the dress hits me below my actual waist (it hits where my hips start), because I'm short. Could a tailor fix the dress by raising the waist seam to where my actual waist is, or should I send the dress back? [more inside]

How do I know if a tailor can properly alter a men's dress shirt?
I recently bought a relatively cheap men's sport/dress shirt that I love, but while it fits perfectly around the neck and chest the cuffs are about 1/2 an inch too long and there's just a bit too much fabric in the sleeves for my taste. What would I want to ask a tailor before having them alter my shirt, to ensure they wont mess it up/make it look bad? [more inside]
How do I alter the sleeves on a sweater?
I have a long sleeved hot pink sweater that is kind of marmish looking. I think it could be made kickier with short sleeves, though. How would I go about altering it? [more inside]
Stupid boobs.
I bought a wedding dress online, and the bust is waaaaaaay too small. The rest of it fits like a dream, and I love it, but I know nothing about alterations. Is there any hope? [more inside]
Help my dress fit like a dream!
I've made a dress. It doesn't fit. Do I need to take the whole thing apart, re-cut and sew back together, or can I alter it another way? [more inside]
Jean Marie
My jeans fit in the changing room, and then spend the next three months constantly falling off my hips. How can I find jeans that fit? [more inside]
Will I turn my fancy suit into a clown suit?
I'd like to buy a new suit. I'd also like to lose a lot of weight. Will the suit still look alright if I lose 60 lbs and have it altered, or should I just wait until I lose the weight? [more inside]
Leather Jacket
I bought myself a leather jacket in the biker style. The jacket length is perhaps an inch or so too long. The jacket is made from thick and still somewhat creaky leather. What can I do to alter it? Would you advise me to attempt it myself?
Pretty Pretty dress, please be shorter
I need recommendations for someone to alter a very expensive gown (to be worn for a wedding) somewhere in New York City (& S. Brooklyn). [more inside]

Who in San Francisco can fix my coat for me?
Can you recommend a seamstress or tailor in San Francisco? I need to replace the lining in my favorite vintage winter coat. [more inside]
Getting cheap clothes altered?
Is it worth it to get (relatively) cheap clothes altered? [more inside]
Fitting vintage dresses
Two questions about wearing vintage dresses: 1) How the hell do I deal with the zipper by myself? and 2) What does a small-chested woman do in a dress cut for someone wearing a bullet bra? [more inside]
Do these pants make my shirt look big?
My clothes never fit. How can I make them fit? [more inside]
